AGP #454 - “Strainer Reso”
3 String Fretless Baritone Guitar
Scale: 29 inches
Strings: .044NW .030NW .020NW
Tune: F C f

The Body Frame is solid 38mm recycled Radiata Pine, the Bottom Board is recycled 4mm Laminated Cedar Venetian Blind Slats, the Top Soundboard is store bought 7mm Pine Ply, the Neck is recycled Grey Iron Bark and Cypress Pine, all coated with an Oak Stain, and 2 Coats of British Paints Acrylic Clear Gloss.

A 15k Humbucker is wired through Vol and Tone Pots to the Output Jack.
The Reso Strainer was from a collapsible Steamer Strainer, bought solely for the purpose of using the leaves as Guitar Tailpieces, such as the one on this Build.

The Body Shape and approx dimensions were nicked from MGB Guitars Florida’s great Fat Bottom Guitar Body Kit design, hope he doesn’t mind, this is the second time I’ve used this lovely looking shape, it just looks so right, well!, to me anyway. :-)

"Thanks BQ & UJ", not he first one I've done with this design, the first involved laminating three pieces of 16mm Pine Plywood together, and Jig Sawing an outside ring for #339, the downside was, it was a fair bit of work, the upside was, the inside cut out was used for #340, so this time I tried a simpler method, involving less work, which was largely achieved, but could probably do with bit more refinement!  :-)
